It's a popular spot for field trips and summer camps. Many visitors come for the guided tours, hiking trails and special events.
The Boardwalk also attracts many visitors. It's the most popular trail on the preserve and takes you through shaded wetlands to a covered pavilion with views of Lake Apopka. Interpretive signage is found throughout to identify trees and plants. Often, you will spot turtles, alligators and wading birds from the Boardwalk.
